When you study online, the the only way to communicate is via messages or phone calls, POORVI PATEL stands above the rest.
there has been a lot of doubts and confusion regarding the course but she has always guided me in the right direction whether its late at night or early morning Poorvi was always there to reply to my messages and I am sure other students must have felt the same way. she enjoys her work and takes pride in resolving queries. Thank you for all your efforts and dedication. i am beyond grateful for your guidance and support.
